Not sure I'd agree with it being bland, nothing so positively repellent could ever be bland surely?!

The main problem with the 3 series isn't the mechanical integrity, it's the people who drive them. Rough people and rough BMWs go together!

I like it!

i love how things have changed, now its all green this and green that, miles per gallon and carbon emmisions, things much simpler then, its got a great engine and goes like hell, dont buy a turd and you will be OK!!

I wonder how many people even knew what a camshaft was let alone the noise it should or should not make!!

Nice to also note how well the E30 stood test of time. 6grand in the early 90's and 3-4 for a good one now depreciation of cople hundred pound a year, bet you wont find many takers for a 4 grand Saab 900 with cloth seats today!!
